Putting It In Perspective

Congressman and candidate Ron Paul has often mentioned putting the middle-eastern situation into perspective. What would happen if we were being occupied? What would happen if China was on our soil, using our resources? How would we react to nearly half a century of foreign occupation? Well, J.L. Bryan has written a fake timeline to show you just how you would feel.

This is for anyone interested in understanding what American foreign policy has done to people in Iran. (For simplicity's sake, I have combined the roles of the USA and the UK, as the USA was assuming control of the former British Empire at this time.)

Sure, it's just a switch - but it makes all the difference. I recommend that this is shared with folks and friends, just so we can really appreciate the importance of perspective.

I'm writing because I found where you posted one of my articles ("If Iran Were America") a while ago.

I thought you might be interested in reading my novel Dominion, which is available free at my new website www.JLBryanbooks.com.

Dominion is set in a near-future totalitarian America, which has continued to expand its foreign wars even as it collapses internally. The main character is a TV "news" reporter who begins digging for the truth behind the propaganda he reports. The book builds on existing American culture and Austrian insights into the nature of the state. You can download the full book as a free PDF

I hope you will visit the site, and you can also look at my other books available there.
